Keynote: Advanced power MOSFET technologies and applications for high efficiency and high density power supplies

Presented by Dr. Qiaoliang Chen

This presentation includes fundamentals and key characteristics of several types of advanced power MOSFETs. The selection criteria of MOSFETs in different applications will be introduced. Several typical application issues related to power devices will be analyzed and solutions are proposed to ensure system reliability and performance.

Design-in of AC-DC front end modules can be complicated. This session will provide a straightforward approach for success, covering such topics as source impedance considerations, inrush current, filter resonance and damping, PFC, faults, fusing, system stability and safety.

Real-world systems comprise more than just the DC-DC converter itself. Using a case study to examine the requirements of module integration into a DC-DC system, you will learn topics such as input and output filtering, protections, compatibility with the source and load dynamics.

4:45 to 3:35 PM
